The number 5

Jono, the real significance of the number 5 is the number of European cups (recently renamed to UEFA Champions League) that Liverpool FC have won (the last in Istanbul, in 2005). Hence the 5 stars in the below picture:

LFC 5 Stars (5 European Cups)

Last night, of course the team did us proud and beat Inter Milan 2-0. Inter are top of the Italian League, 11 points ahead of 2nd place and haven’t lost a game in the Italian league all season. They also hadn’t until last night lost any game in any competition since September 2007. But they were dominated on the pitch from the first second of the match until the last second, and the score could easily have been 4-0 or 5-0.

I was at the mosque last night while the match was going on, the first home champions league game I hadn’t been to this season. So I had taped ITV1’s coverage using GStreamer and DVB.
